As they have to force the champs to fight Ennis. For Ortiz too, but first he has to check his health.

Can this guy even make 147 anymore without his organs shutting down?

[Get em up]

At this point the belt holders at 147 are hardly fighting anybody. I'll be surprised if the Ugas vs Spence fight doesnt fall through somehow and who knows when we'll see Bud again he is fighting his toughest opponent to date and that's Bob in court.

That's kind of what I was thinking to...

Oscar has on his promoter's hat, which happens to be full of sh_t 2! All the shots he took in his last fight Ortiz that is; ain't no champion scarred or running.

Ortiz will need to fight at 147 at least once more and prove he can actually make the weight before any mandatory status will be enforced. In the meantime he isn't getting better he's trying to get healthy, at the same time as maturing, which isn't going to help in trying to get down to a fight weight he's clearly outgrown.

man almost killed himself to make 147

Virgil is being fed false hopes why doesn't he see Oscar's negative trend and go elsewhere. With Oscar you'll be a lazy fighter hardly ever fighting just like the other promoters. Only Eddie Hearn is a good one. Just look at everyone else, they hardly fight maybe once a year and don't like challenges nor risking their belts or undefeated record. Those ain't champions.
